I just tried to do this - I have a Macbook Pro - if I click on edit Prezi and then press space bar I don't get show mode, nothing happens. I really need to figure out how to use a portable clicker for a presentation I have to give next Monday. All I need is a way to advance /go back each page, don't need zoom. Why doesn't this work around work?

Just to clarify my problem - I am using a downloaded version of the presentation since I'm not sure if there will be internet access in the presentation conference room or not. I will be loading the deck from a USB stick either to my Macbook Pro or someone else's PC laptop. So I need to know for either case, how can I get a clicker to work to advance the slides.

If you are using a downloaded flash .exe to show your prezi you do not need to worry about space bar. Simply click the full screen button down on the bottom right corner (within the prezi) and then use your clicker like normal.

Though oddly enough, my $10 cheap clicker works with downloaded prezis but my $100+ logitech pro model does not. So you'll need to see whether your clicker is compatible with flash.

I tried this with my remote clicker X-pointer. Its buttons are set to mouse scroll wheel up and down, not editable. And it does not work according to the instruction above. Its buttons are working as if mouse pointer is on the center of the screen and scroll wheel activate up and down. Is there anyone has a good solution?

Until now I didn't receive any support to make Prezi works with my Apple remote. Unfortunately I have to stop using Prezi in my presentations because I don't want to be tied to a keyboard during my speech.

Came here with a renewed desire (after giving up on most options a year ago) for finding suggestions on using Prezi with remotes.

I wanted to use an app to control Prezi. After a bit of Googling, I found this http://www.splashtop.com/remote . They have a number of apps that work mostly for Apple devices. I needed it to work with Android, so I got their Splashtop Remote Desktop.

I installed it with the expectation that I would be getting the return in 15 minutes refund from Android. To my shock, it works quite well and may be the answer some of you are looking for.

In short, the Remote Desktop is a two part deal:
1. Download and install their "Streamer" software (free) on your computer, first.
2. Get the app from Apple App store or Android market. (394 yen for me/ about $5 USD).

Once you have setup the password on your computer, the phone, pad of whatever device you are using will connect via wireless (no 3G support). With this particular application, I can now control my laptop entirely from my HTC Desire HD phone. Fullscreen mode isn't a worry since the inputs are treated just like anything from a mouse or keyboard.

I just started using this app (have a presentation to give this weekend) but I'm amazed by the fact I can access anything I like (Prezi, video files, documents, whatever) and control it all by dragging my finger around my smartphone's screen.

I'll report back if the honeymoon doesn't last, but I hope this can help some of you who are as desperate as I was to find a quick solution to the Prezi remote conundrum.

I recently found out how to get my remote to work with Prezi, and I would like to see if others have the same success. At first I could not get my remote to work with Prezi for the longest time, and then I found out that the remote buttons were clicking the Page Up and Page Down buttons on the keyboard and not the left and right arrow buttons that Prezi uses for navigation. I then downloaded a keyboard remapper and mapped the Page Up key to the left arrow and the Page Down key to the right arrow. I can now control Prezi from the Fullscreen preview screen with my remote, and I do not need the workaround listed above. This has worked for both my Kensington and Logitech remotes running on Firefox.

Wow. Thank you so much Mr. Brownson! I have a big thing coming up this Saturday and didn't know whether to invest time in doing a remap and hope it works or settle on using the keyboard instead. Cheers.
